At the same time that the Red Hair Pirates and the Sky Empire broke out in a fierce battle.
Through Morgans ' live News Coo broadcast, people all over the world saw what was happening on the scene.
Clearly, the Red Hair Pirates, equipped with oxygen tanks, are destined to be defeated by Golden Lion's Sky Empire sooner or later, in the eyes of various factions, since the capacity of oxygen tanks is limited.
Sabaody Archipelago.
Inside Shakky's Rip-off Bar.
Rayleigh watched the projections of two Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi, one showing the battlefield of the Lulusia Kingdom, and the other, naturally, showing the battlefield of the abandoned island in the New World.
He frowned deeply. " Shanks is too hasty. He can fight Shiki himself, but his crew may not be able to fight against the experts of the Sky Empire."
Shakky, smoking a Shakky, analyzed, "That Blizzard Monet is terrifyingly strong. Even Logia Fruit users would find it difficult to fight her for long, especially if they're unprepared."
"I hope Shanks doesn't suffer a crushing defeat," Rayleigh sighed helplessly.
He could only watch the live stream now, unable to do anything else. After all, even traveling at full speed from the Sabaody Archipelago to the Sky Empire would take at least 26 days.
Based on the current trend, Rayleigh could almost certainly conclude that the Red Hair Pirates wouldn't last a day.
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
He and the others were also watching the live stream.
Looking at the situation of the Red Hair Pirates, she shook her head. " The Red Hair Pirates are doomed to defeat. That Blizzard Monet has actually developed her Devil Fruit power to this extent. Unless it's Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino, anyone else who encounters her will most likely suffer a crushing defeat."
Vice Admiral Black Horse, the head of the naval intelligence system, also nodded solemnly.
"This woman's abilities are indeed very troublesome. Even Admiral Vice Admiral Garp and Sengoku, if they encounter her and cannot finish the battle quickly, may be defeated if they are drawn into a protracted war."
It's not that the Kurouma looks down on Garp and Sengoku, but rather that the two aren't fast enough and lack long-range attack methods, making them easy targets for Monet's kiting tactics.
After all, based on the live broadcast at that time, the Kurouma roughly estimated that the oxygen-free zone created by Monet had a radius of about 30 kilometers.
With a radius of 30 kilometers, even if Sengoku and Garp exerted all their strength, it would still take them several minutes to run at full speed. The problem is that Monet is not dead; she can also keep moving and extend the anaerobic zone in sync.
Monet is effective against not only Sengoku and Garp, but against everyone except Logia and Undead-type Devil Fruit users.
Unless you're like Brook and don't need to breathe oxygen, it's difficult to avoid the negative effects of an anaerobic environment.
The other two maritime emperors of the New World.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates were also quietly watching the live broadcasts from the two battlefields.
The Big Mom Pirates were wary of the Sky Empire and intended to use this opportunity to further understand Sky Empire strength.
The Whitebeard Pirates, on the other hand, were relatively simpler.
"That kid is too arrogant, and Shiki's strength has improved even further. I hope he can survive!" Whitebeard took a sip of Rum and watched the live broadcast calmly.
" Pops, you need to take care of yourself!" Marco reminded him, sounding a bit annoyed.
Whitebeard patted Marco on the shoulder. "Hahaha, I'm not so old that I need to quit drinking."
The sons on the deck didn't seem to care much.
Meanwhile, Teach, who was also drinking and laughing foolishly, secretly despised the "brothers" on the ship. In Teach's eyes, these guys were just parasites who sponged off their parents, with no ambition and a lazy lifestyle. Once Whitebeard died, these guys would definitely be eliminated by the times.
However, Teach was still somewhat anxious at this moment.
He hadn't yet obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit he so desperately wanted, and the sea had already undergone tremendous changes. This made him worry involuntarily. Even if he obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit in the future, he might still have to face the terrifying Sky Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn.
Also in the New World.
About 930 kilometers from the battlefield where the Sky Empire and the Red Hair Pirates clashed, a small coffin ship was speeding along at high speed.
Mihawk rowed the boat frantically, wielding a large Black Blade.
In the past few days, the Cipher Pol secretly notified him, requiring him to go to the Sky Empire to support the Red Hair Pirates and ensure that Red-Haired Shanks survives.
Although he was surprised by the World Government's actions, he did not refuse the mission. After all, Shanks was his best friend, and he also wanted to test his skills against the great swordsman of the previous era.
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
Mihawk frowned, then stopped rowing and looked up at the sky.
Within the clouds, a huge black shadow slowly pierced through the white clouds.
"People from the Sky Empire?" Mihawk gripped Night tightly and unleashed a cross-shaped slash at the island falling from the sky.
The fallen island was cleaved into four pieces by a cross.
However, due to its immense inertia, the island remained intact and continued to crash into the sea surrounding Mihawk.
Mihawk's Haki surged. "Open it!"
The dense slashes, imbued with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, instantly pierced through the middle of the island, creating a hole tens of meters in size.
boom!
Island fragments crashed into the sea, creating a tsunami tens of meters high, and Mihawk soared into the air using Geppo.
A dozen minutes later, he gently landed on one of the island ruins.
"Truly worthy of being the World's Greatest Swordsman, but this path is blocked."
Robin's voice echoed from all directions.
"You want to stop me?"
Why is Mr. Mihawk so persistent?
"If you want to stop me, then show yourself!"
Robin's clone appeared atop a rocky mountain not far from Mihawk.
"A woman?" Mihawk raised an eyebrow.
"I am Flower Garden, the chief of the Sky Empire's Anbu," Robin introduced himself with a smile.
Mihawk's Observation Haki seemed to sense something was amiss. "Are you sure you're alone?"
"It's just me right now, but that should be enough."
Mihawk's gaze turned cold. "In that case, let me test where your confidence comes from."
"Someone once told me that knowledge is power. When I finally understood the true meaning of that statement, I realized how insignificant I was. The more I knew, the more I realized how ignorant I was."
Are you trying to say I'm a frog in a well?
Robin smiled without saying a word, showing no intention of explaining. Her clones quickly wrapped around his exoskeleton, and his internal muscles rapidly filled in.
A figure 3.14 meters tall, covered in a silver-gray exoskeleton, stood opposite Mihawk.
"This is your Devil Fruit ability?"
"Understanding the essence of things is the true meaning of strength."
Robin's clone vanished instantly, appearing in a flash to Mihawk's left, its bony claws aimed at his temple.
Clang! Mihawk raised his sword to parry, then swiftly slashed at Robin's clone.
Robin's clone advanced instead of retreating, its blade instantly slicing through the exoskeleton.
Mihawk's pupils contracted sharply, and in a flash, he changed his slash to a strike, sending Robin's clone flying hundreds of meters away.
At that moment, a wound appeared on Mihawk's wrist. If he hadn't used Armament Haki to protect himself at the critical moment, his hand might have been broken.
"This ability?"
Clearly, Robin's Organ Flower had grown on Mihawk's wrist in that instant.
After a moment of contemplation, Mihawk asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are you Devil Fruit User?"
